Mobile air conditioners have definite pros.
The portable air conditioner is completely autonomous portable equipment. Portable air conditioners can be found quite easily in DIY stores or supermarkets. In terms of price, they are the cheapest. You can find them starting at $ 200. They integrate the fan (air circulation only), air conditioner (indoor air cooling) and finally dehumidifier functions.
Their installation is quite simple since it is only necessary to position the hot air exhaust pipe on a window and caulk it often with polystyrenes supplied with the air conditioner.
Their big advantage lies in their easy installation and requiring no installation work. A portable air conditioner is installed on the floor. It does not require any special installation. It is therefore immediately operational.
This is its main asset!
The operation of mobile air conditioning is intuitive. After setting the required temperature, the appliance takes care of adjusting the production of cold air itself. As it is also programmable, the portable air conditioner turns on and off by itself at the time you want.
In addition, it is able to rid the surrounding atmosphere of various allergens. Allergic people can therefore breathe air free of dust, pollens, mites and other harmful bacteria. In addition to the technical aspect, we must above all take into consideration the benefits provided by mobile air conditioning.

Obviously, the fact that the window is ajar lets hot air through and prevents the room from being able to cool properly. This is why its use is rather practical in a small space or as an auxiliary air conditioning. This allows for a relatively correct result.
In summary, the portable air conditioner has the following pros:
